Gnome without chrome-gnome-shell

New laptop, has a touchscreen, can be folded into a tablet, I heard gnome-shell
would be a good choice of desktop environment, and I managed to tweak it enough
that I can reuse existing habits.

I have a big problem, however, with how it encourages one to download random
extensions off the internet and run them as part of the whole desktop
environment. I have an even bigger problem with
gnome-core having a hard
dependency on
chrome-gnome-shell, a plugin
which cannot be disabled without root editing files in /etc, which exposes
parts of my destktop environment to websites.

Visit this site and it will know which
extensions you have installed, and it will be able to install more. I do not
trust that, I do not need that, I do not want that. I am horrified by the idea
of that.

Description

chrome-gnome-shell is a hard dependency of gnome-core, and it installs a
browser plugin that one may not want, and mandates its use by system-wide
chrome policies.

I consider having chrome-gnome-shell an unneeded increase of the attack
surface of my system, in exchange for the dubious privilege of being able to
download and execute, as my main user, random unreviewed code.

This package satifies the chrome-gnome-shell dependency, but installs nothing.

Note that after installing this package you need to purge chrome-gnome-shell
if it was previously installed, to have it remove its chromium policy files in
/etc/chromium
